Hello @insynczoomdev, this isn’t a feature you can enable/disable via the API. You can disable local recording by having the host update their computer recording settings:

1. In the navigation menu, click **Account Management** then **[Account Settings](https://zoom.us/account/setting)**.
2. Click the **[Recording & Transcript](https://zoom.us/account/setting?tab=recording)** tab.
3. Under the **Recording** section, click the **Record to**  **computer files** toggle to enable or disable it.
  - This will disable local recording for everyone (including the host)

There’s more info about the custom configurations for the Zoom computer recording settings found [here](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063640)
